As per the AHA/ASA guidelines for management of ICH [72] |
---|
• Prophylactic use of AED is not recommended in patients with ICH [72]. |
• Clinical seizures should be treated with anti-epileptic drugs [72]. |
• Continuous EEG monitoring is probably indicated in ICH patients with depressed mental status out of proportion to the degree of brain injury [72]. |
• Patients with a change in mental status who are found to have electrographic seizures on EEG should be treated with anti-epileptic drugs [72]. |
